US prosecutors detail new evidence in Trump election subversion case
Al Jazeera
Special Counsel Jack Smith says Mike Pence was among those who told former president to accept the 2020 election result.
A federal judge in the United States has made public new evidence against Donald Trump in an ongoing election subversion case in Washington, DC.
Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed a 165-page court filing on Wednesday that details the prosecution’s argument that Trump — in his final months as president — acted in a private capacity to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The filing is the latest effort by Special Counsel Jack Smith to illustrate how presidential immunity does not apply to Trump’s actions. It presents perhaps the most complete case yet of the 78-year-old’s efforts to cling to power as his term expired.
It also arrives barely a month before the 2024 election, as Trump seeks re-election once more.
In the filing, prosecutors allege Trump told members of his family: “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.”
